Poster, 2019
Rates of syphilis have significantly increased in Saskatchewan in the past several years, with areas of the province issuing syphilis alerts and outbreak notices. Women of reproductive age are of particular concern because of the risk for congenital syphilis (syphilis passed from mother to baby during pregnancy or delivery). This poster highlights that syphilis can harm pregnancies and unborn babies, but it is curable. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women to be tested and treated if infected.

Messages for Parents: Five to Eight Years
Information Card, Revised 2024
Parents are the first and primary sexual health educators of children. This resource provides information to help parents and caregivers promote their child’s healthy sexual development. Early introduction of sexual health topics increases the confidence and comfort of both caregivers and the child to talk about sexual health in later years. As children grow, it is important for caregivers to reinforce health messages and expand on sexual health topics.
